Our staff's job is to teach you, not watch for cameras or intervene with other people's rights on enjoying a public space. If you are uncomfortable with the thought that someone that you do not know may take an image or recording of you and post it or something that mentions your name if they recognize you on their social media, etc. because they though that you were doing something awesome / unique /etc. then DO NOT choose to attend a public venue.

SAMPLE RENTAL CAMERA VIDEO QUALITY (OPTIONAL DELUXE UPGRADE)

“With Video” options are for the rental of an consumer grade underwater camera that you can have a friend use to film you while learning.

The use of our underwater video camera may vary based on your helper's ability to stay still in the water. This helper is to be provided by YOU.
